Be a Flame Starter and Ignite the Fire

Flame Starters are catalysts for change and have an insatiable appetite for growth. You’ve worked your entire career to be at this point right now to conquer the challenges in front of you! Public service is a noble profession and pressure is a privilege. I have prepared a list of incredible resources to accelerate your journey to, in the spirit of Mejorando, “get better all the time.”

You must be vigilant in moistening your mind to challenge long-held assumptions that can serve as a straitjacket to change. Lubricating your mind helps increase its elasticity and permits you to do things different and do different things! Don’t be concerned with the source for new ideas, remember, you’re an adventurer, experiencing the world through all your senses. Consuming content that is inconsistent with how we see the world is good for us. Remember, growth and comfort don’t co-exist!

After I speak at a conference or present a workshop, I always offer to send these resources to those interested and then I realized, why not share it with all 3,500 people who receive my newsletter. I can attest to each of the items on this list – for their relevance, impact and immediate benefit. They all have value and while there’s no solitary factor, cumulatively they generate an enormous impact helping you pivot your mindset.

These resources are fundamental in shaping my thinking, trying to help leaders translate headwinds into a tailwind. Topics include Leadership, Change, Marketing, Culture, and Innovation.

Time to live in the dis-comfort zone and illuminate your mind!

I’m always looking to add new items to the list, so if you have a resource you’d like me to consider putting, send it to me via email at patrick@gettingbetterallthetime.com.
